BMW Concept X2: Bold design refreshes SUV segment

LONDON: The BMW Concept X2, which was revealed for the first time at the Paris Motor Show 2016, displays a bold and compact design that stands apart from that of the other X models and also draws on the marque’s history of coupe-making.
The result is a compact concept exuding urban sporting appeal.
“The BMW Concept X2 is a vehicle for active people looking for a combination of enjoyment and practicality,” explains Adrian van Hooydonk, senior vice president at BMW Group Design. “The concept displays a new and exciting facet of the BMW brand within the compact segment.”
The design of the BMW Concept X2 fuses apparent contradictions into a single coherent statement.
“The BMW Concept X2 combines the fast-moving body language and low-slung proportions of a coupe with the robust construction of an X model. This is a sporty vehicle with a bold character, and it allows us to open up some fascinating new design possibilities for the BMW brand,” says Karim Habib, head of BMW Design.
